Que Diable Monsieur Ne Bougez donc pas...

Honoré Daumier

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two men from the waist up. The man on the left is seated, facing a canvas with his left hand holding a long stick pointing at the canvas. He has a pronounced nose, an open mouth, and short swept back hair, wearing a floral-patterned robe. The man on the right is seated with his arms folded, slightly turned towards the left. He has a rounded face with drooping eyelids and slicked back hair, wearing a high-collared white shirt under a dark coat. The background is plain, and the focus is on the interaction between the men and the canvas on an easel, with the man's reflection subtly visible in the canvas.
